Strawberry Beet and Banana Protein Shake
This Strawberry, Beet, and Banana Protein Shake will make getting your daily beet allowance a cinch! Check out the recipe below or read on to find out all the ways you can enjoy beets!
When it comes to food, my daughter has some quirks. For example, she loves apples and apple crumbles, but will always pass on apple pie. The same goes with her and grapes. She loves grapes in all their colors and hues – but if I tried to feed her grape jelly, I will become public enemy #1!
And, I shouldn’t complain too much. If you’ve been visiting this space of mine for a bit, you would probably know that my love for beets is strong. I love beets and have thoroughly enjoyed them in these:
• Crepes…
• Donuts…
• Banana bread…
• Crackers…
• Cakes…
• Cookies…
• Currries…
• Soups…
• Salads…
• Dips…
• Burgers…
• And even in this Pizza Base!
But – I am so not a fan of beet juice! I’ve tried adding ginger, and carrots and the like but just cannot seem to get it to where my tongue doesn’t wanna whip it outta my oral orifice!
And…thats where this shake comes into play!
I leaned on my love of the combination of beets and berries while making this shake. Now, this shake isn’t the thickest – it’s quite light – the kinda shake that you could down two glasses of and then go outside and run around in circles or mow your yard – whichever you fancy. Yes, you will taste the beets in here – but, so will you taste the frozen banana, the strawberries and Premier Protein‘s Strawberries and Cream Shake. Now, you could add more oats than the 1 tablespoon I used to make this thicker. Or, you could make ice cubes using Premier Protein‘s Strawberries and Cream Shake and use those with some of the liquid form of the shake for a thicker shake as well. Either way, whether you maybe a beet-lover or beet-hater, this is one shake am betting you will enjoy.

I love beets!!
this looks so yummy! I love beets!
I LOVE beets but have never tried beet juice or adding it to a smoothie…I’ve been kind of worried about it and I don’t know why! I’m coming around however and have been wanting to add it to a smoothie. This shake looks incredible and I love the added protein and that beautiful color!
It’s so funny how we all have our little quirks. I LOVE vinegar and fries (duh, right?) However, I used to like vinegar on fries ONLY with gravy and if I had fries without gravy, then no vinegar. Weird, right? I’m over that now, lol. One thing I do enjoy, like you, is beets. Love the colour of them and especially love ’em roasted. I’ve yet to have in smoothie form, but gonna have to try after seeing this beauty of a shake! So pretty!! What a beautiful way to start the day!! XO
This recipe looks healthy but delicious! I think it is really interesting when you have a combination of strawberry and fresh beets ( I never have this before). I will try your recipe at this weekend! Thanks for sharing with us 😀
I’m not a fan of beets.. I can’t get past the taste.. I love carrots raw, like in salad, but mushy cooked, no.. I won’t eat cream corn… yuck!
I love beets so very much! Would be thrilled to win this!
I like fresh tomatoes but not cooked/mashed/stewrd tomatoes. I havent had beets but this shake looks yummy. I am going to try it.
Haha! I didn’t think I would ever hear you express disdain for ANYTHING beet-related, Shashi. I mean whenever I see beets in the store, I always think about you. But at the same time, I totally get it. I mean beet juice just doesn’t sound that amazing. (And it makes me think of Beetlejuice.) But this shake totally sounds amazing! Great idea to use Premier Protein as a base. This one would be excellent for the hot days we’re having up here lately! 🙂
Thank you for such an awesome giveaway! I love your protein shakes!
I dont really like beets but I like them juiced, so we try to juice them at least weekly for the health benefits.
I love ketchup, but I don’t like tomatoes lol. No, I’m not a fan of beets!
Lol, ohh I just adore your daughter! And all her food quirks! I mean, most of us have our quirks, especially when it comes to food, right?! I’m pretty easy and will eat almost anything, but I’m picky about the WAY I eat it…. if that makes any sense. 😉 I’m with you on beets. I like them, but I’ve never really had a beet juice I cared for. Clearly I need to give this GORGEOUS shake a try! Seriously, Shashi, the color is just stunning! And I LOVE that you added strawberries and bananas here – now that is a combo I can get down with! PLUS all the protein?! I absolutely need this!! Cheers, my sweet friend! <3
P.s. I think you're on vacation? I hope you are having a wonderful time!!
yes am a fan of beets I read one time long ago when juicers first came out that if you drank beet juice everyday that eventually you would start to pee red so I drank it a lot so I could pee in front of my fellow workers screaming that I was peeing blood
I like tomatoes but don’t care for tomato juice. I don’t care much for beets.
I do not like eating bananas but I enjoy a banana nut muffin once in a while. I love beets and beet greens.
